Give me some time (busy day) and I will go back through my list of FR threads that reference this material.
The ones that I got the info from are well documented.
The info stuck in my mind since it is just about opposite of what I was taught as "facts".
Note: the info is available from a variety of sources,
but the FR threads do a good job of summerizing and debating the issues.
Anything in particular that you have a question about?

I never heard the fact that the South offered to give up slavery except a feeble attempt in 1865 which was promptly rejected by the South.

The largest CW riot occurred in New York by Whites and it started as a protest of the draft law. A Black orphanage was burned and any Blacks found were attacked.

I am not aware of any Black General Officer let alone any black officer.

The North was far more prejudiced against blacks? There is no way I'm going to believe that one. I'm pretty sure the Underground Railroad didn't go South. < Sarcasm >
